- horn loudspeaker includes one or more acoustic drivers (typically compression drivers) that radiate pressure waves into an acoustic horn, typically through a diffraction slot.
- the horn has side walls and top and bottom walls (or the equivalent, in case the horn has a non-rectangular shape in the cross section in the X-Z plane as shown in the coordinate system of Fig. 1 below) and acoustically loads the acoustic drivers.

- the acoustic drivers may be arranged in a line and may be referred to as "line arrays".
- the line arrays may be acoustically coupled to the diffraction slot directly or through ducts. Sometimes two or more horn loudspeakers may be assembled in a single enclosure, as will be described below.
- Line arrays may or may not be acoustically coupled to horns.
- the vertical dispersion angle of straight line arrays that are not coupled to horns is substantially zero, so that the vertical dispersion of a line array not acoustically coupled to a horn is determined principally by the length of the line array, the curve of the line array, or a time delay equivalent of the curve of the line array.
- the vertical dispersion angle of a horn is determined principally by the dispersion angle upper and lower walls of the horn.

- the acoustic drivers transduce electrical energy into acoustic energy, which is conducted to the horn.
- the acoustic energy enters the horn at the horn at the throat end 13 and exits the horn at the mouth 17 in a controlled and predictable radiation pattern, with the vertical dispersion angle (that is, the dispersion angle in the Y-Z plane of the coordinate system of Fig. 1) determined by the angle ⁇ and the horizontal dispersion angle (that is, the dispersion angle in the X-Y plane in the coordinate system of Fig. 1) determined by the flare of the side walls 18A and 18B .
- Fig. IB shows a front view of two horn loudspeakers 10-1 and 10-2 assembled in a single enclosure 11.

- the top and bottom walls are not shown in this view.
- the side walls 18A and 18B are shown as flaring symmetrically in the X-Y plane.
- the side walls may flare asymmetrically in the X-Y plane. Some of the acoustic drivers and some of the acoustic ducts are not visible in Fig. 3.
- Fig. 5 shows an oblique isometric front view of the assembly of Figs. 3 and 4 with top and bottom enclosure walls 24A and 24B (which are also the top and bottom horn walls in this configuration; in other configurations, the top and bottom enclosure walls may be separate from the top and bottom horn walls) angled to provide a 40 degree vertical dispersion angle.
- the curve of the front edge 70 of a keel 56 is visible.
- the top wall 24A and the bottom wall 24B may be mechanically fastened to the ends of keel 56.

- the keel also functions as a mounting point for the acoustic assemblies so that the elongated openings (114 of previous views) are held in place along an arc to form a segmented diffraction slot.

- Fig. 7 is a diagrammatic view of a horn loudspeaker in a medium-sized venue, such as a sports arena which includes a plurality of listening locations, of
- the seating location 212 which is farthest from the horn loudspeaker is significantly farther away from horn loudspeaker than the closest seating location 210 (in this case about 4x, but in actual implementations much more than 4x).
- Fig. 8 is a diagrammatic view of one prior art approach to the problem of providing adequate but not excessive SPL to locations that are at significantly different distances from a horn loudspeaker system.
- the horn loudspeaker system of Fig. 8 includes two horn loudspeakers 100-1 and 100-2 configured and positioned so that listening location 212 receives radiation primarily from horn loudspeaker 100-1 and so that listening location 210 receives radiation primarily from horn loudspeaker 100-2.
- the two horns may be housed in a single enclosure as shown in Fig. IB.
- Gain Gl (sufficient to provide desired SPL to seating location 212) is applied to an audio signal and the amplified audio signal is transduced to acoustic energy by horn loudspeaker 100-1.
- Gain G2 ( ⁇ G1 and sufficient to provide SPL to seating location 210) is applied to the audio signal and the amplified audio signal is transduced to acoustic energy by horn loudspeaker 100-2. While the arrangement of Fig. 2 may provide appropriate amounts of SPL to each of the listening locations 210, and 212, it may be economically inefficient.
- Fig. 8 is a diagrammatic view; elements 100-1 and 100-2 do not necessarily represent the orientation or shape of an actual implementation.
- Fig. 9 show a horn loudspeaker system that provides, with a single horn and a single amplifier 22 coupling audio signal source 20 and horn loudspeaker 100, adequate but not excessive SPL to locations that are at significantly different distances from the single horn.
- An audio signal source is coupled to an amplifier 22.
- the amplifier is coupled to each of the acoustic drivers 12-1 - 12-n through signal attenuators 36-1 - 36-n, respectively
- the amplifier 22 amplifies an audio signal from an audio signal source to an amplitude that results in adequate SPL at the location farthest from the horn loudspeaker.
- the amplitudes of the signal to the acoustic drivers are attenuated so that the acoustic energy toward the most distant listening location is attenuated little or not at all and the signal to the nearest listening location is attenuated so it does not receive excessive acoustic energy.
- Fig. 10 shows another embodiment of a horn loudspeaker.
- Fig. 11 shown another embodiment.
- the modules are grouped (in this example, three groups of two) and each group is coupled to the amplifier through a signal attenuator. This provide less flexibility to the user, but requires fewer part.
- the horn elements are as described in U.S. Pat. App. 12/898,947.
- the voltage attenuators are step-down transformers.
- Fig. 12 shows a step-down transformer 100 that can be used of one or more of the voltage attenuators 36- 1 - 36-n of previous figures.
- the secondary side 102 of the step-down transformer has taps at -1 dB, -2.5 dB, and -4.5 dB.
- the arrangement of Fig. 12 permits a large number of choices of attenuation factors.
- -1 dB can be attained by coupling the leads of an acoustic driver between terminal 104 and tap 106; -1.5 dB can be attained by coupling the leads of the acoustic driver to taps 106 and 108; -2 dB can be attained by coupling the leads of the acoustic driver between taps 108 and 110; -2.5 dB can be attained by coupling the leads of the acoustic driver between terminal 104 and lead tap 108; - 3.5 dB can be attained by coupling the leads of the acoustic driver between taps 106 and 110; and - 4.5 can be attained by coupling the leads of the acoustic driver to terminal 104 and tap 110. Adding more taps at more and different attenuations can permit even more choices of attenuation factors.
- the exact shape and dimensions of the voids may vary, depending on the geometry of the horn and other physical structures in the horn loudspeaker, for example bass modules.
- the wedge shaped voids 60 and 64 may have undesirable side effects, for example a narrowband loss (or "notch") in the output of the horn.
- the narrowband loss can be reduced by filling the void with acoustic absorbing material, for example open cell foam.
- Fig. 13 shows a top plan view of the assembly of Fig. 6 with the top enclosure wall 24B removed to show internal detail and with some elements omitted to avoid clutter in the drawing.
- Fig. 14 shows a top plan view similar to the top plan view of Fig. 13, with another configuration for reducing the narrowband loss.
- a first generally planar front structure 70 or "baffle" of a material such as closed cell foam that closes off the void 60 (that is, separates the void 60 from other portions of the volume within the horn enclosure and from the exterior of the horn assembly) but does not fill the void.
- the front structure 70 is closed cell foam about 50 mm thick.
- Fig. 15 is a front oblique view of the assembly of Fig. 14.
- Fig. 16 is a front oblique isometric view of the assembly of Fig. 15, with an the first generally planar structure 70 and with a second generally planar front structure 72 or "baffle" of closed cell foam that closes off the void 64 (that is, separates the void from other portions of the volume within the horn enclosure and from the exterior of the horn assembly) but does not fill the void.
- the front structure 72 is closed cell foam about 50 mm thick.
- the output of the horn loudspeaker was 2 to 3 dB over the configuration of Fig. 13 with open cell foam.
